    Well here's more fun stuff to add to the mix.

    After you read this lovely article, ask yourself about all that terrific cheap labor.

    How cheap is it when a family member dies with one of these diseases, or when they get sick and as a citizen you have to pay your medical bills. But the immigrant that brought this in gets all of us to pay for their medical expenses.

    If you really want to understand this, go read up on the late 1800s and up to mid 1930s. This nation did some pretty extreme things to wipe out many of these diseases in our country. Because we forget we think its not a problem. Once begun it is hell to get rid of.


    INVASION USA
    Illegal aliens threaten
    U.S. medical system
    Docs journal reports hospitals being closed, previously vanquished diseases being spread

    Cristobal Silverio emigrated illegally from Mexico to Stockton, Calif., in 1997 to work as a fruit picker.

    He brought with him his wife, Felipa, and three children, 19, 12 and 8 – all illegals. When Felipa gave birth to her fourth child, daughter Flor, the family had what is referred to as an "anchor baby" – an American citizen by birth who provided the entire Silverio clan a ticket to remain in the U.S. permanently.


    But Flor was born premature, spent three months in the neonatal incubator and cost the San Joaquin Hospital more than $300,000. Meanwhile, oldest daughter Lourdes married an illegal alien gave birth to a daughter, too. Her name is Esmeralda. And Felipa had yet another child, Cristian.

    The two Silverio anchor babies generate $1,000 per month in public welfare funding for the family. Flor gets $600 a month for asthma. Healthy Cristian gets $400. While the Silverios earned $18,000 last year picking fruit, they picked up another $12,000 for their two "anchor babies."

    While President Bush says the U.S. needs more "cheap labor" from south of the border to do jobs Americans aren't willing to do, the case of the Silverios shows there are indeed uncalculated costs involved in the importation of such labor – public support and uninsured medical costs.

    In fact, the increasing number of illegal aliens coming into the United States is forcing the closure of hospitals, spreading previously vanquished diseases and threatening to destroy America's prized health-care system, says a report in the spring issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons.

    [color=#444444]"The influx of illegal aliens has serious hidden medical consequences," writes Madeleine Pelner Cosman, author of the report. "We judge reality primarily by what we see. But what we do not see can be more dangerous, more expensive, and more deadly than what is seen."

    According to her study, 84 California hospitals are closing their doors as a direct result of the rising number of illegal aliens and their non-reimbursed tax on the system.

    "Anchor babies"the author writes, "born to illegal aliens instantly qualify as citizens for welfare benefits and have caused enormous rises in Medicaid costs and stipends under Supplemental Security Income and Disability Income."

    In addition, the report says, "many illegal aliens harbor fatal diseases that American medicine fought and vanquished long ago, such as drug-resistant tuberculosis, malaria, leprosy, plague, polio, dengue, and Chagas disease."
    While politicians often mention there are 43 million without health insurance in this country, the report estimates that at least 25 percent of those are illegal immigrants. The figure could be as high as 50 percent.

    Not being insured does not mean they don't get medical care.

    Under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act of 1985, hospitals are obligated to treat the uninsured without reimbursement.

    "Government imposes viciously stiff fines and penalties on any physician and any hospital refusing to treat any patient that a zealous prosecutor deems an emergency patient, even though the hospital or physician screened and declared the patient's illness or injury non-emergency," says the report. "But government pays neither hospital nor physician for treatments. In addition to the fiscal attack on medical facilities and personnel, EMTALA is a handy truncheon with which to pummel politically unpopular physicians by falsely accusing them of violating EMTALA."

    According to the report, between 1993 and 2003, 60 California hospitals closed because half their services became unpaid. Another 24 California hospitals verge on closure, the author writes.

    "American hospitals welcome 'anchor babies,'" says the report. "Illegal alien women come to the hospital in labor and drop their little anchors, each of whom pulls its illegal alien mother, father, and siblings into permanent residency simply by being born within our borders. Anchor babies are citizens, and instantly qualify for public welfare aid: Between 300,000 and 350,000 anchor babies annually become citizens because of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside."

    Among the organizations directing illegal aliens into America's medical systems, according to the report, are the
    • Ford Foundation-funded Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund,
      the National Immigration Law Center,
      the American Immigration Lawyers Association,
      the American Bar Association's Commission on Immigration Policy, Practice, and Pro Bono,
      the Immigrant Legal Resource Center,
      the National Council of La Raza,
      George Soros's Open Society Institute,
      the Migration Policy Institute,
      the National Network for Immigration and Refugee Rights and
      the Southern Poverty Law Center
    .


    Because drug addiction and alcoholism are classified as diseases and disabilities, the fiscal toll on the health-care system rises.

    When Linda Torres was arrested in Bakersfield, Calif., with about $8,500 in small bills in a sack, the police originally thought it was stolen money, explained the report. It was her Social Security lump sum for her disability -- heroin addiction.

    "Today, legal immigrants must demonstrate that they are free of communicable diseases and drug addiction to qualify for lawful permanent residency green cards," writes Cosman, a medical lawyer, who formerly taught medical students at the City University of New York. "Illegal aliens simply cross our borders medically unexamined, hiding in their bodies any number of communicable diseases."

    Many illegals entering this country have tuberculosis, according to the report.

    "That disease had largely disappeared from America, thanks to excellent hygiene and powerful modern drugs such as isoniazid and rifampin," says the report. "TB's swift, deadly return now is lethal for about 60 percent of those infected because of new Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis.

    Until recently MDR-TB was endemic to Mexico. This Mycobacterium tuberculosis is resistant to at least two major anti-tubercular drugs. Ordinary TB usually is cured in six months with four drugs that cost about $2,000. MDR-TB takes 24 months with many expensive drugs that cost around $250,000 with toxic side effects. Each illegal with MDR-TB coughs and infects 10 to 30 people, who will not show symptoms immediately. Latent disease explodes later.

    TB was virtually absent in Virginia until in 2002, when it spiked a 17 percent increase, but Prince William County, just south of Washington, D.C., had a much larger rise of 188 percent. Public health officials blamed immigrants.

    In 2001 the Indiana School of Medicine studied an outbreak of MDR-TB, and traced it to Mexican illegal aliens. The Queens, New York, health department attributed 81 percent of new TB cases in 2001 to immigrants. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ascribed 42 percent of all new TB cases to 'foreign born' people who have up to eight times higher incidences apparently, 66 percent of all TB cases coming to America originate in Mexico, the Philippines and Vietnam."

    Other health threats from illegals include, according to the report:

    Chagas disease, also called American trypanosomiasis or "kissing bug disease," is transmitted by the reduviid bug, which prefers to bite the lips and face. The protozoan parasite that it carries, Trypanosoma cruzi, infects 18 million people annually in Latin America and causes 50,000 deaths. The disease also infiltrates America's blood supply. Chagas affects blood transfusions and transplanted organs. No cure exists. Hundreds of blood recipients may be silently infected.

    Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, was so rare in America that in 40 years only 900 people were afflicted. Suddenly, in the past three years America has more than 7,000 cases of leprosy. Leprosy now is endemic to northeastern states because illegal aliens and other immigrants brought leprosy from India, Brazil, the Caribbean and Mexico.

    Dengue fever is exceptionally rare in America, though common in Ecuador, Peru, Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Mexico. Recently, according to the report, there was a virulent outbreak of dengue fever in Webb County, Texas, which borders Mexico. Though dengue is usually not a fatal disease, dengue hemorrhagic fever routinely kills.

    Polio was eradicated from America, but now reappears in illegal immigrants as do intestinal parasites, says the report.

    Malaria was obliterated, but now is re-emerging in Texas and the lower California border area.

    The Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons report includes a strong prescription for protecting the health of Americans:

    • Closing America's borders with fences, high-tech security devices and troops.
      Rescinding the U.S. citizenship of "anchor babies."
      Punishing the aiding and abetting of illegal aliens as a crime.
      An end to amnesty programs. (sounds good to me!)

    Excellent letter. Wish I had written it, because it expresses my views perfectly. History will NOT be kind to George Benedict Arnold Bush.

    If you want to read what else he has planned for America, highlight the following link and go to the story that describes what's coming up, a borderless America from Canada to Mexico, planned by the treasonous leaders of those two countries, and the meeting will be at the Bush ranch.

    While I agree completely with the letter, I think the Republican party in particular better pay VERY close attention, and better be worried about something much more immediate than their "legacy", albeit as bad as that will be. He touched on it a bit in his letter when he said he is/was a staunch Republican.

    I would like to expand on that a bit. I too have always been a staunch supporter of the Republican Party. I have voted in every election for over 20 years as well as other election activity. I have always been such a rabid republican that friends avoided me around election season... I take politics damn seriously.

    While I will not be able to bring myself to vote for liberals (egads) I WILL take my vote and go home. Republicans will NOT get my vote, and when they are ticking guys like ME off enough that they lose my vote.. they are in VERY serious trouble. If they like that majority they currently hold in the House and Senate, they better WAKE UP!

    You are exactly right...that is all based on the FTAA treaty and this mad desire for "one world government".

    To Senor Don
    Just FYI this a female not a male....no problem.
    I too am often avoided during election time for same reasons.
    I am now looking into Constitution party but do not yet know who/what they are. I can never go liberal. This will be the death of the RNC as far as I am concerned.

    I went to the Constitution Party's website and read their platform. I could certainly live with that!!
    I, too, have been a staunch Republican for all of my life, but that's over now. There isn't a great deal of difference between the two parties...but I won't find myself voting for the lesser of two evils again.

    I would love to set that as a poll. Do you think a third party has a chance of succeeding?

    Seems that grass roots is pretty powerful in these days of computers.

    I "have" been a very stanch rep supporter (and contributor). However, I have started sending the RNC, and others, 2 pesos (and a "friendly" little note) whenever they come a knockin for more cash.

    I too, like the platform (most of it) of the constitution party. The most we can expect from a 3rd party like this, is to try to get some members of the house (and slowly the senate) elected from this (or another) 3rd party. This is NOT a instant fixable issue. Unfortuantly, we will still have to vote for the "lesser of 2 evils" in order to keep the greater of 2 evils out, BUT if we can continue to put pressure on the currently elected officials, AND start planting the seeds of other quality people into office, then slowly things can change.

    However, what will be LEFT of this country, since it seems to be a true breakneck RACE by the current pollies to absolutely pervert this great country. By the time we "slowly" get change, it certainly could be too late.

    Now as to:
    Beaner, thanks for this post. You expressed my thoughts 100% of the way. Now..how can we go about filing lawsuits?
    I am NOT a lawyer but have done quite a bit of research. The charge is Malfeasance of Ofice which, supposedly, is MUCH easier to push than impeachment. It is based on your job description. In this case these people took an oath to uphold the Constitution. That in fact is their job description. They have not lived up to specific articles within that Constitution. Ergo, malfeasance of office.

    How to go about it
    I am looking into that and will come back to this exact forum when I have worthwhil info. It would be much easier if it is filed as a class action cause lawyers cost $$$.

    Now as to :
    I went to the Constitution Party's website and read their platform. I could certainly live with that!!
    I am in the process of contacting them, and others, to see who has the spine to actually do something besides talk.

    Now as to :
    Do you think a third party has a chance of succeeding?
    There are different measures of success. Do I think a 3rd party can win?
    Ross Perot almost did but screwed it up himself.
    BUT a vigorous 3rd party definitely can get enough power/votes where they can strongly influence outcomes. In 2004 election most voted Dem or Rep.....but those who voted Libertarian took votes away from Rep. Those who just did not vote took votes away from both.

    So a 3rd party can swing enough power to intimidate both parties depending on the issue. If that gets done what I want done I call it a success. If the Easter Bunny could do it I would call him a success even though he cannot hold office.

    Another success is shaming/embarassing politicians. VERY effective. In Texas right now our idiot state legislature (Rep) is totally going against what people want. We have a large group right now who are buying YELLOW female underpants and will send them to all who voted the wrong way. Sounds silly but when press covers it then it makes them look foolish and those egos cannot stand that.

    FYI...I am female so some touchy woman out there who is offended.....get over it. I don't care. Put that in your smoke and pipe it.

    ROFL! Brilliant! 2 pesos are worth, what? about 1/100th of a cent?

    Since they consider mexicans to be equal to americans in our own country, and consider their law,government, all the rest to be as legitimate as our own... should we not respect their money as much? Let us hereby declare the peso as equal to the American Dollar, after all we do not want mexico feeling as if their currency is anything less than ours.. that would be insensitive. I coulda paid the IRS off years ago for about 50 bucks.

    In fact, I think we should be able to pay off ALL our mortgages etc with pesos.

    (Of course the above idea is BS... but I just love the concept)

    HAHA.

    What is the significance you are placing on the yellow panties, other than to show that these pollies are peeing all over themselves? I do think shame and ridicule do have VERY powerful places, when used correctly (and not overused). The media exposure is just icing on the cake!

    They are worth very little, which is EXACTLY how I feel about the pollies. The get a nice (well I think it is nice) little note telling them that as long as they are selling out our country to the powers in MX, then they might as well start planning on this type of contribution, and WHEN they start putting concerns of US citizens first, THEN they might get some US currency from me!

    I will be in south AZ in a few weeks, and plan on hauling back several hundred (or thousand) peso coins, and help many other members of the tax groups I belong to (and PNN), to all be able to make likewise contributions of 2 cents^h^h^h^h^h pesos
